Pros of having a car scanner

The obvious pro of a car scanner is you could save thousands. It is designed to save you money because the truth is it's very easy for a mechanic to rip you off when he gets your car serviced. Especially if you're taking it in because the check engine light has come on you, you could easily end up potentially paying a thousand more than you should, and you would have absolutely no idea. A car scanner is inexpensive and helps identify your car's issues automatically so that you don't go in blind and ignorant.



It is great for anyone who is not car savvy and simply wants car problems translated into super simple, easy to understand terms. Using a car scanner is dead simple. All you do is download the free app onto the phone. Plug the scanner into the cars onboard diagnostic port and wait 1 minute for a device to run its test. Then you sync the device with your phone. Open the app on the phone and check the report.

The car scanner will continually monitor the car and scan thousands of potential issues. You will receive phone notifications for the particular car model and miles, so you know about any upcoming maintenance. And you will be alerted in real-time straight to your phone if there are an issue and its severity. The best part about the car scanner is that it works with many car models.



The car scanner works on all gas and hybrid-powered cars build after 1996 and every diesel vehicle manufactured after 2008. If you live in a country outside the US, it will work on gasoline, diesel, and hybrid vehicle models 2006 and later. You can also monitor multiple cars at the same time with the app, which is super useful, and just like the growing trend of worrying health trackers to measure heart rates and daily steps are taken. The car scanner is like a daily health tracker for your cars.
